El Dorado County’s fiscal state looking brighter
By Cathy Locke, Sacramento Bee
Good news is relative and El Dorado County officials took some satisfaction this week that the county is in better fiscal shape than some neighboring jurisdictions.
After months of layoffs, furloughs and cuts in services, staff members said the county should be able to avoid further layoffs this fiscal year, despite projected budget shortfalls in the District Attorney’s Office and Development Services Department.
General fund revenue is expected to exceed budget by $1.4 million when the fiscal year ends June 30.
